What would it have been like if Merle and Daryl had a little sister to look out for during the Apocalypse?
This book follows everything EXACTLY as the show. Only thing different is Aaliyah.
Aaliyah Dixon was 12 years old when the apocalypse hit. S...
The rest came back and they were here in the sewers with us. He told them what happened, that he was bit. And i was with him. I haven't left him. I don't want to leave him. I don't t know what i'm going to do without him. I needed him.
He's getting worse by the second, He was pale, weak, sweating and in pain. He could barely move. All we've been doing is crying, even if it was just silent we were just next to each other. Dreading what was going to happen.. And we couldn't stop it. There was nothing we could do. Carl was dying. I was losing him.. We all were.
My head was resting on his shoulder, we were holding hands, they were resting on my thigh. The rest were at a loss of words too. They left us alone. But finally, Michonne and Rick came back. "We brought him here. That's how it happened." Carl said looking Rick. He turned to us. "Go, Come back in a bit. I need to talk to them." He said looking at me as a tear fell. I stood up slowly and walked away. I avoided the looks i got.
I walked towards the end of the tunnel and covered my mouth as more tears fell. "Take 'er." I heard Daryl. I kept walking and i reached the end of the tunnel and rested my forehead against the concrete wall. My heart was aching. I've never felt this pain before and i didn't know how to deal with it. Was i going to feel like this forever? Knowing that he wont be with me anymore.? We've been by each others side since we were 12.
(They're 19 here.)
We were by our sides, together for 8 years. Always together. We never left each others sides. I was going to be alone for the first time and it scared me. I didn't want him to leave me. I felt a hand on my shoulder and i started crying. They turned me around and hugged me. I hugged back and cried on their shoulder. "i'm sorry.." Daryl said holding me.
I clutched his vest and cried on his shoulder. My heart was shattered. I've never cried like this. Daryl has never seen me cry like this. No one has. This was a new pain that i couldn't deal with. I wanted it to stop. I wanted Carl to be okay. He held me closer, tighter. "It hurts." I said softly. "It hurts. Daryl it hurts." I said crying against his shoulder. "I know. I know." he said running my shoulders. "I know." he said again.
More explosions started going off and parts off the sealing down. He pulled me away and covered my head. I heard Carl coughing in the distance. "Sit." He said. I slid down the wall and put my head in my hands. I had a huge headache, There was too much going on that i could handle. He sat down next to me and pulled me in for a hug and i rested my head on his shoulder as another tear fell. I closed my eyes causing another one to fall. He rubbed my arm and looked down at me. He kissed my head and resting his head on mine.
He just held me knowing that's what i needed right now. After a while of him just holding me we heard footsteps. We looked over to see Michonne. He looked at me. "He's asking for you." She said looking at me. Daryl moved and i stayed sitting. I wiped under my eyes and he held his hands out towards me. I took them and he pulled me up slowly. I stayed standing for a second, i felt dizzy. He put his hands on my arms/shoulders and looked at me.
I got myself together and i walked a bit. We headed over to Carl. "I'm gonna go take a look." Daryl said looking at Rick. He nodded and looked at me as i walked by them. I walked over to him and swallowed the lump in my throat. Another tear fell right when i saw him. he looked worse. He gone worse in those few minutes i was gone. Carl looked at me and i got on my knees, looking at him. He was laying down now.
He looked up at me and held my hand. I looked at our hands and he moved his thumb slightly. "Aaliyah," he said softly. I slowly looked up to him again. "Don't leave again, Just.. stay here. With me." He said nodding slightly. I nodded looking at him sadly. "okay," I said softly. Daryl left. Rick and Michonne came over to us. Carl let go of my hand and reached in his pocket. "Remember," he said looking at me and he held his hand in his fist. "Remember when i told you i was looking for something?" He asked.
I nodded looking at him. "Yeah," I said softly. He opened his hand and i looked at it. In between his fingers was a ring. I raised an eyebrow as a tear fell. He smiled a bit looking at me. "That day i was acting weird.. At that house in the woods.." he said looking at it then back at me. "You walked in on me when i found it. And i didn't want to give it away. I was going to give it to you.." he said. I looked at him.
"But then this happened... and i forgot." He said looking at me. I shook my head. "I didn't need a ring.." I said as a tear fell. "I know. But i wanted to get you one. To show you that i was serious about this." He said. I giggled sadly and another tear fell. He smiled too and a tear fell. "I mean..." he said looking at me. "it's too late now.. but i love you, I want you to keep this ring. Keep it on you." He said looking at me.
"I don't know what hand or finger you put a ring on when someones getting married but just look at it like we're married now. I guess.." He said looking at me. I smiled slightly as another tear fell. "Left hand.." Rick spoke out. We looked to him. "Third finger." He said looking at me, then Carl. I looked back at Carl and he took my left hand and placed the ring on it. "Guess we're married now.." He said smiling slightly as a tear fell. he looked at my hand.
"It fits." he said looking at it. I rested my head on his shoulder and more tears fell. He kissed my head and held my hand. "I just got lucky.." he whispered against my head.
